IT SEEMS winter is well and truly with us today with ground frost greeting us this morning and the effects of Storm Caroline starting to kick in.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for the Loughborough area with snow and ice expected between now and Saturday evening. Two to five centimetres of snow is likely in places with 10-20 centimetres possible for some locations.

Average temperatures for today is likely to be three degrees centigrade but the wind will make it feel like -1c, widespread frost is expected with a risk of icy patches

Tomorrow the temperature is expected to drop to two degrees centigrade but strong winds will make it feel like -2c. Although it could actually be a sunny day at times, it will remain very cold, with a Met Office yellow warning in place throughout the weekend.
